My local park was gloriously sun-drenched today. The sun was warm on my face and my skin was just drinking it in.
I sat on a bench & ate some lunch, and walked some laps listening to music after 5 hours of calls.
Round two in the evening, with an energizing talk. Thanks Elty.
Went for a walk along the Fraser and ended up over at the River District.
We biked there to see the murals as they were being painted way back in August.

After getting @mamrotynka to go to Pacific Bread Company, we went to for a walk today and stopped at the yarn store and the Polish deli, Polonia.
I was surprised to see QR codes in the latest edition of Cook’s Illustrated.
It works pretty well, where this Armenian Vospov kofte recipe leads to a video of how to make it.
The Pacific Bread Company has a delicious selection of pastries as always, and that’s without taking a picture of the other case filled with cakes and colourful macaroons.
A walk around the neighbourhood after too much time indoors. It was a nice evening, I got to pet a dog, and the sunset light was lovely.
Autonomic is a tech co-op that just announced “Co-Op Cloud”:
“using existing open standards to build a catalogue of apps, & a CLI client to read the catalogue and deploy those apps”
Co-op Cloud docs cloud.autonomic.zone
The rain and cloud have moved in today on Bowen.
Plus, an incredible selection of fresh pastries & sandwiches at Artisan Eats.
Robin Rendle, Inheritance, on the longevity (or not) of the web:
“the web forgets everything because you’re just renting space…In sixty years will my grandchildren read my blog?”
This is part of why I’m interested in IPFS.
View from Artisan Suites on Bowen Island. We’re helping my parents partially move into their new place this weekend.
I’m very happy to have my #secondbrain notes site auto-building and publishing to @fissioncodes with GitHub Actions.
I also have IndieKit running so I can post from my phone over Micropub to a git commit. Longer write up soon ;)
Here’s a few photos from @bloedelconserv.
You book a 45min slot to wander among the plants & birds & warm air. It didn’t hurt that the sun was out & shining through the dome as well.
A picture of me in the lobby of our apartment.
It’s my birthday today. We’ll visit the Bloedel Conservatory for some nice warmth, jungle plants, & bird life as an antidote to the gray Vancouver winter.
Are you annoyed by #opensource Contributor License Agreements (CLA) assigned to a single corporation?
@kemitchell made a form of XLC that lets contributors pool and manage relicensing without a central entity: Cross License Foundations
This past weekend I started using my new @reMarkablePaper e-ink tablet.
So far, I’ve written two long form blog posts by hand, including this one documenting my first usage.
Happy Valentines Day! Here are the cards Rachael and I gave each other, plus a sketch we had made in a market in Berlin 3 years ago.
Sitting at the breakfast table writing what will become a blog post on drop in audio.
Yes, it’s a new reMarkable “paper” tablet. I’m using it in the hopes of better deep reading and writing.
Except for a quick microblog to post a picture of it!
Go read @genmon’s Memexes, mountain lakes, and the serendipity of old ideas:
“And it’s interesting, right, this accretive note-taking and the process of taking core samples through the deep time of your own ideas.”
Today’s evolving #opensource licenses are part of a long line of open licenses designed to attack certain business models.
I bought this Mac Mini before the M1 announcements & it’s likely my last Intel Mac.
I finally completed this surgery to bump it up to 32GB of RAM.
The saga of screwdrivers 🪛 goes all the way back to mid October! 🙈
I dropped in on a Saturday night friend Zoom with some old friends from Ottawa.
It was great to see everyone, & it reminded me about Untappd that everyone was using to rate beers.
I signed up in 2011 & last used it in 2015. So many social networks!
Looks like Sublime Text is moving to a subscription model, plus videos on new features, post by @brianwisti
Lots of #indiebiz experiments around charging for software.
Bandcamp Friday: Lambs & Wolves
I realized that Bandcamp Friday is continuing, where Bandcamp passes all sales on to artists on their platform without t...Yay! @louderthanten is turning 11 years old, and they’re becoming a worker-owned cooperative.
“We’re here to upend the traditional principles and values of project management that treat people like economic units”
I went for a long walk in the sun along Wall Street in #eastvan.
My shadow posed for pictures at the parks along the way, facing the water and the North Shore mountains.
